Ambient Electrochemical C-N Coupling via Co-electrolysis of N2 and CO2

为了克服固氮的障碍（大量的能量消耗和二氧化碳排放），研究者创造性地假设N2和CO2的同时电催化偶联可以选择性地形成N-产物，从而实现N-肥料和乙酰胺的转化。基于CI最近的发现，该项目将开发一种创新/可持续的系统，该系统可以促进N2固定和CO2转化过程，这是简化C-N键形成途径的重要替代方法。因此，它将有助于减缓温室气体排放，并为在环境条件下分布式生产碳氮产品创造一种生态友好型议定书/技术。

To overcome the hurdles in N2 fixation (massive energy consumption and CO2 emission), investigators creatively hypothesize that the simultaneous electrocatalytic coupling of N2 and CO2 would enable the selective formation of N-products and thus realize their conversion into N--fertilizers and acetamides. Based on the CI's recent discoveries, this project will develop an innovative / sustainable system, which could promote the N2 fixation along with CO2 conversion process, a significant alternative approach to simplify the pathways of C-N bond formation. It will thereby contribute to mitigation of greenhouse emissions and create an ecofriendly protocol/technology for distributed production of C-N products under ambient conditions.
